Cherry and Coconut Muffins

Sweet and juicy cherries are in season right now and I absolutely love them. They do create a bit of a bloodbath when you try to stone them so I tend to don a pair of disposable rubber gloves to avoid the old purple finger look which isn't very flattering. I decided to bake a batch of muffins using these purple juicebombs and some sweet dessicated coconut - they're ultra simple to make and take just 20 minutes to bake. This recipe makes 18 muffins or you can turn it into a 2lb loaf for a teatime treat.

In fact, Aldi are selling them for 79c a punnet so run like the clappers and grab some now!

These sound great. I have to confess though that I doubt I'll ever bake them ... simply because I cannot stop eating fresh cherries and they'd never reach the batter ;) Gorgeous photos, especially the last one - it just screams "eat me"!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Yummy Yummy Scrummy Muffins. We are busy demolishing the special batch that Ms. Babaduck make for us. There has been a steady chorus of "oohs aahs and oh, they're yummy" coming from the kitchen. There has even been a discussion about how we get you do this every friday :) Thank You! Gonna have to try making these.

About Me

Babaduck started life in 2010 to show one friend (Mrs. T) what to make for dinner, step by step and it's grown ever since.
I love writing about all aspects of food and drink, including creating simple easy to follow recipes with lots of photos, restaurant and product reviews, lots of food news and as much travel as I can cram in. I'm a self-confessed Francophile and love almost everything about la belle France, especially the wine. The Hubs is my beloved other half who taste tests all the recipes on your behalf and keeps me on an even keel.
So where did the name come from? The Hubs inspired the name - he calls me Baba & his friends call him The Duck. Simples.
